The reason you never buy from sellers with no feedback

I noticed this while reviewing the FB of a recent customer of mine. Check out this Hit & Run account who scammed him earlier. Picked up over $1,000 in a few days, then vansished. Sickening. image

    My Ebay criteria.

    1.Minimum of 10 feedbacks.
    2.No recent neutral or negative activity within the last 5 trasactions, its a dangerous trend.
    3.No sunglasses or disguises.
    4.I am a repeat buyer from those who have treated me well.
    5.The way they describe a coin tells me alot about them!!!!
    6.If neutral exceeds negative, that scares me more than a few sporatic negs.

    Best regards,
    Brian.

    Another red flag is that only money order and cashier checks are accepted as payment. It scares me when that is the only form of payment accepted, good feedback or not.

    I noticed most of the buyers that got taken were newbies as well. image

    bgman,

    Up until Paypal, I never accepted anything but money orders or cashiers checks. Only took getting burned once for me to adopt that policy.

    Cheers,

    Bob

    I had a buyer stiff me once who ended up with a feedback rating of (-13) before being ousted.
